Sharon Hays on Create Me Free

I just came across this article now. Thank you for exploring this idea of a spectrum. It’s given me something I hadn’t thought of before to help describe my depression. (MDD here) Usually I’m presented with the linear scale of 1 to 10 and where may mood falls within that structure, but it encompasses so much more than “mood.” There’s the physical aspects as well. Can I get out of bed earlier today, can I do more or less activity, can I actually think somewhat clearly or is it all foggy and disjointed, can I express myself in an understandable way, and can I even form a creative thought. I think the depression actually leaches my creative energy from me and makes it difficult to even access it, or maybe it’s just the meds. Food for thought.
